Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular relates to a super junction MOSFET device and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) is a voltage-controlled power semiconductor device with significant advantages such as fast switching speed, good high-frequency characteristics, good thermal stability, low noise, simple driving circuit, low driving power, wide safe operating area, and no secondary breakdown problem. It plays a vital role in modern electronic devices.

[0003] Super junction MOSFET is a new product with excellent performance and wide application fields. Its main feature is the use of alternating PN columns to replace the drift region in ordinary MOSFET, thereby introducing a two-dimensional electric field in the drift region. When the various parameters of the PN column are reasonably designed, the modulation effect of the lateral electric field is utilized. Compared with traditional MOSFET, while maintaining the same withstand voltage level, the drift region doping concentration is increased by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude, so it has excellent on-resistance.

[0004] The terminal of super junction MOSFET is more complicated than that of traditional MOSFET. In the terminal area, alternate PN columns are needed to extend the depletion region and improve the voltage resistance of the device as much as possible. The terminal structure of existing super junction MOSFET is arranged alternately with PN columns at equal intervals to improve the voltage resistance.

[0005] However, this structural design often causes the breakdown position of the device to occur at the terminal. The process of avalanche breakdown current flowing from the terminal position through the cell region will cause holes to be injected into the interface of silicon and silicon dioxide, causing the interface charge of the oxide layer to increase, thus affecting the reliability of the device. In addition, the breakdown position occurring at the terminal will also reduce the device's ability to resist avalanche current. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to solve the above problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a super junction MOSFET device and a method for manufacturing the same. The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0007] In the first aspect, the present invention proposes a super junction MOSFET device, comprising: a first conductive type substrate and a first conductive type epitaxial layer located on the first conductive type substrate; a cell region and a terminal region of the device are provided in the first conductive type epitaxial layer; a plurality of second conductive type columns are longitudinally distributed in the cell region and the terminal region in the first conductive type epitaxial layer; wherein the plurality of second conductive type columns distributed in the terminal region include a plurality of size types, and the second conductive type columns of different size types are alternately arranged.

[0008] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a super junction MOSFET device, comprising:

[0009] Step 1: Select a first conductive type substrate, and epitaxially grow a portion of a first conductive type epitaxial layer of a preset thickness on the first conductive type substrate; the first conductive type epitaxial layer is divided into a cell region and a terminal region of the device;

[0010] Step 2: Performing a general implantation of first conductive type donor ions at an oblique angle on the top of the first conductive type epitaxial layer; then performing a second conductive type ion implantation in the cell region and the terminal region of the first conductive type epitaxial layer using a mask to form a plurality of implantation regions; wherein the portion corresponding to the terminal region on the mask adopts a layout in which windows of various sizes are alternately arranged, so that the formed plurality of implantation regions are also arranged alternately;

[0011] Step 3: Repeat the operations of step 1 and step 2 to form a complete first conductive type epitaxial layer. At the same time, the injection regions at corresponding positions in different levels of the first conductive type epitaxial layers are interconnected in the vertical direction to form a plurality of second conductive type columns distributed longitudinally in the cell area and the terminal area; and the second conductive type columns in the terminal area are arranged alternately in different sizes and types.

[0012] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0013] The present invention proposes a super junction MOSFET device, comprising: a first conductive type substrate and a first conductive type epitaxial layer located on the first conductive type substrate; a cell region and a terminal region of the device are provided in the first conductive type epitaxial layer; a plurality of second conductive type columns are longitudinally distributed in the cell region and the terminal region in the first conductive type epitaxial layer; wherein the plurality of second conductive type columns distributed in the terminal region include a plurality of size types, and the second conductive type columns of different size types are arranged alternately. The structural design alleviates the strength of the terminal electric field of the device under the reverse withstand voltage state by forming second conductive type columns of different sizes arranged alternately in the terminal region of the device, so that the electric field strength in the terminal region is lower than that in the cell region, so that the breakdown occurs in the cell region, that is, whether in the charge balance state or the non-balanced state, the avalanche current flows away from the cell region, avoiding the injection of holes into the interface of silicon and silicon dioxide, causing the increase of the interface charge of the oxide layer, improving the reliability of the device, and at the same time improving the avalanche breakdown capability of the device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] A first aspect of the present invention provides a super junction MOSFET device. Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of a super junction MOSFET device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, including: a first conductive type substrate 01 and a first conductive type epitaxial layer 02 located on the first conductive type substrate 01; a cell region and a terminal region of the device are provided in the first conductive type epitaxial layer 02; a plurality of second conductive type columns 03 are longitudinally distributed in the cell region and the terminal region in the first conductive type epitaxial layer 02; wherein the plurality of second conductive type columns 03 distributed in the terminal region include a plurality of size types, and the second conductive type columns 03 of different size types are alternately arranged.

[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first conductivity type can be selected as N type, and the second conductivity type is P type, so the second conductivity type column 03 can be called a P column. In this embodiment, the first conductivity type substrate 01 can be selected as an N+ type silicon substrate material, and the first conductivity type epitaxial layer 02 can be selected as an N-type silicon carbide epitaxial material.

[0027] Optionally, as an implementation method, the present embodiment designs two size types for a plurality of second conductive type columns 03 distributed in the terminal area, namely, small-sized second conductive type columns and large-sized second conductive type columns, and the small-sized second conductive type columns and the large-sized second conductive type columns are arranged alternately. The sum of the widths of the small-sized second conductive type columns and the large-sized second conductive type columns is equal to the width of the second conductive type columns distributed in the cell area.

[0028] Optionally, as an implementation, in this embodiment, the width of the large-sized second conductive type column can be 1.8-2.8 μm; the width of the small-sized second conductive type column can be three-fifths of the width of the large-sized second conductive type column. The spacing distance between the small-sized second conductive type column and the large-sized second conductive type column is 3-3.9 μm.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, it can be seen that the present embodiment adopts a small CD and a large CD parallel arrangement for the CD (Critical Dimension) of the terminal P column to form a terminal structure, and the sum of the two CDs of the terminal P column is equal to the CD of the P column in the cell area. When the device is in a certain humidity environment and a reverse withstand voltage is applied, the avalanche current occurs in the cell area, thereby solving the problem of hole injection into the silicon and silicon dioxide interface caused by the high electric field at the terminal, causing the interface charge of the oxide layer to increase, so that the charge balance of the terminal area can be stabilized and the reliability can be guaranteed. In addition, this design not only better optimizes the potential distribution of the device terminal structure, and can increase the withstand voltage by 5% compared with the traditional terminal design, but also can improve the device's ability to resist avalanche breakdown.

[0030] For further information, please see Figure 1 In the terminal region, a second conductive type multi-ring region 04 and a second conductive type single-ring region 05 are further provided in the top layer of the first conductive type epitaxial layer 02, the second conductive type multi-ring region 04 is located in the middle region of the terminal region, the second conductive type single-ring region 05 is located on the left side immediately adjacent to the second conductive type multi-ring region 04, and the upper surfaces of the two are in the same plane; a second conductive type body region 10 is further provided in the second conductive type single-ring region 05; a field oxide layer 06 is further provided on the upper surface of the first conductive type epitaxial layer 02, and the field oxide layer 06 covers the upper surface of the second conductive type multi-ring region 04 and the right area of ​​the terminal region;

[0031] In the cell region, a JFET region 07 is further provided in the top layer of the first conductive type epitaxial layer 02; the JFET region 07 is adjacent to the second conductive type single ring region 05, and the upper surfaces of the two are in the same plane; a gate oxide layer 08 is further provided on the upper surface of the first conductive type epitaxial layer 02, and the gate oxide layer 08 covers a portion of the JFET region 07; a polysilicon layer 09 is further provided above the gate oxide layer 08 to form a gate; a first conductive type source region 11 is provided in the JFET region 07;

[0032] An interlayer insulating medium 12 is also provided on the upper surface of the first conductive type epitaxial layer 02 ; a metal contact hole is opened in the area of ​​the interlayer insulating medium 12 corresponding to the first conductive type source region 11 , and a source metal 13 is provided therein; a drain metal 14 is provided under the first conductive type substrate 01 .

[0033] The present invention forms P columns of large and small sizes arranged alternately in the terminal region of the device, thereby alleviating the intensity of the terminal electric field of the device under the reverse withstand voltage state, making the electric field intensity of the terminal region lower than that of the cell region, so that the breakdown occurs in the cell region, that is, no matter in the charge balance state or the non-balanced state, the avalanche current flows away from the cell region, avoiding the situation where holes are injected into the interface of silicon and silicon dioxide, causing the increase of the interface charge of the oxide layer, thereby improving the reliability of the device and enhancing the avalanche breakdown capability of the device.

[0034] In order to further illustrate the advantages of the terminal structure of the present invention, the electric field distribution and avalanche current distribution of the terminal structure of the present invention and the traditional equidistant terminal structure under the reverse withstand voltage state are compared through simulation experiments.

[0035] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 This is the electric field distribution diagram of the traditional equally spaced terminals under reverse withstand voltage. Figure 3 : is an electric field distribution diagram of the terminal structure provided by the embodiment of the present invention in the reverse withstand voltage state. Figure 2 It can be seen that the PN columns of the traditional terminal are arranged alternately. When the device is in the reverse withstand voltage state, the electric field strength of the terminal is prone to uneven distribution, resulting in the terminal electric field strength being higher than the cell area. After the terminal breaks down prematurely, holes are injected into the interface of silicon and silicon dioxide, causing the interface charge of the oxide layer to increase, breaking the terminal charge balance and eventually causing device damage. Figure 3 It can be seen that the terminal structure of the present invention has an electric field distribution diagram under the reverse withstand voltage state. When the device is under the reverse withstand voltage state, the structure introduces small CD P columns to form a structure in which small CD and large CD P columns are arranged alternately, which alleviates the terminal electric field strength and makes the terminal electric field strength lower than the cell area, and the breakdown occurs in the cell. This avoids the injection of holes into the interface between silicon and silicon dioxide, causing the interface charge of the oxide layer to increase and breaking the terminal charge balance.

[0036] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 This is the avalanche current distribution diagram of traditional equally spaced terminals under reverse withstand voltage state. Figure 5 : is a diagram of avalanche current distribution of the terminal structure provided by an embodiment of the present invention under reverse withstand voltage state. Figure 4 and Figure 5 It can be seen that the breakdown position of the conventional terminal structure is likely to occur at the terminal at a concentration outside the charge balance point, and the avalanche current flows from the terminal to the cell region. However, the breakdown position of the terminal structure of the present invention occurs in the cell region at a concentration outside the charge balance point, indicating that the junction structure has a good ability to resist avalanche breakdown.

[0037] In summary, the structural design adopted by the present invention can better optimize the potential distribution of the device terminal structure, effectively reduce the peak electric field strength, and improve the withstand voltage performance of the device terminal; at the same time, this design can better solve the problem that the high electric field at the terminal causes holes to be injected into the silicon and silicon dioxide interface, causing the interface charge of the oxide layer to increase, breaking the charge balance in the terminal area, and the withstand voltage degradation of the device. The breakdown position of the terminal structure occurs in the cell area, which ensures the device's anti-avalanche breakdown capability.

[0038] It should be noted that, for the materials, thicknesses, implanted ions, etc. of each layer involved in this embodiment, reference may be made to the existing related technologies, and no specific limitation is made in this embodiment.

[0039] It is understandable that the terminal structure designed in the present invention can be applied to not only MOSFET devices but also other semiconductor devices such as IGBT (Insulate-Gate Bipolar Transistor).

[0040] Based on the same inventive concept, the second aspect of the present invention also provides a method for preparing a super junction MOSFET device. Figure 6 The process diagram shown and Figures 7a-7j The process schematic diagram shown is a detailed introduction to the preparation method of the present invention.

[0041] Step 1: Select a first conductive type substrate 01, and epitaxially grow a first conductive type epitaxial layer 02 of a preset thickness on the first conductive type substrate 01; the first conductive type epitaxial layer 02 is divided into a cell region and a terminal region of the device.

[0042] Specifically, N+ type silicon is selected as the substrate, and a thin N- type epitaxial layer is epitaxially grown thereon to obtain Figure 7a The device structure shown.

[0043] Step 2: Perform a general implantation of first conductivity type donor ions at an oblique angle on the top of the first conductivity type epitaxial layer 02; then perform a second conductivity type ion implantation in the cell region and terminal region of the first conductivity type epitaxial layer 02 using a mask to form a plurality of implantation regions.

[0044] The portion corresponding to the terminal area on the mask plate adopts a layout in which windows of various sizes are arranged alternately, so that the formed injection areas are also arranged alternately.

[0045] Specifically, firstly, the N-type epitaxial layer is implanted with impurities at an oblique angle of 7 degrees, the implantation dose is 2.4e12-2.8e12, and the implantation energy is 100kev-200kev.

[0046] Next, a mask with a terminal area of ​​small CD and large CD arranged in parallel is used to etch out an ion implantation window through photolithography and etching processes, and a 0-degree angle P-type ion implantation is performed, with an implantation dose of 6.0e12 to 7.4e12 and an implantation energy of 100kev to 200kev, to form a number of elliptical implantation areas. It can be understood that the several elliptical implantation areas are also distributed in alternating sizes, such as Figure 7b shown.

[0047] Step 3: Repeat the operations of step 1 and step 2 to form a complete first conductive type epitaxial layer 02. At the same time, the injection regions at corresponding positions in different levels of the first conductive type epitaxial layer 02 are interconnected in the vertical direction to form a plurality of second conductive type columns 03 distributed longitudinally in the cell area and the terminal area; and the second conductive type columns 03 in the terminal area are arranged alternately in different sizes and types.

[0048] Generally speaking, the operation of step 1 and step 2 can be repeated 7 times to form Figure 7c The device structure shown. It can be understood that Figure 7c The injection regions in adjacent layers shown in the figure have a certain distance from each other in the vertical direction, and after subsequent high-temperature annealing, they will be interconnected in the vertical direction to form P columns.

[0049] Furthermore, to prepare a super junction MOSFET device, the following steps are also included:

[0050] Step 4: In the top layer of the first conductive type epitaxial layer 02, the second conductive type acceptor ions are selectively implanted using a mask layer, and a high temperature annealing process is performed to form a second conductive type multi-ring region 04 in the middle area of ​​the terminal region.

[0051] Specifically, on the top of the N-type epitaxial layer, a window for acceptor ion implantation is etched out by photolithography and etching using a mask layer to form a P-type multi-ring region, i.e., the second conductive type multi-ring region 04, with an implantation dose of 1e12 to 3e12 and an implantation energy of 100kev to 200kev, followed by high temperature annealing to obtain the following: Figure 7d The device structure shown.

[0052] It can be seen that after high-temperature annealing, the larger injection regions in the cell region and the terminal region are interconnected in the vertical direction.

[0053] Step 5: In the top layer of the first conductive type epitaxial layer 02 , the second conductive type acceptor ions are selectively implanted using a mask layer to form a second conductive type single ring region 05 immediately to the left of the second conductive type multi-ring region 04 .

[0054] Specifically, on the top of the N-type epitaxial layer, a window for acceptor ion implantation is etched out by photolithography and etching using a mask layer to form a P+ type single ring region, that is, the second conductive type single ring region 05; wherein the implantation dose is 1e14 to 3e14, and the implantation energy is 500kev to 100kev, and the following is obtained: Figure 7e The device structure shown.

[0055] Step 6: forming a field oxide layer 06 on the upper surface of the first conductive type epitaxial layer 02 , and then implanting first conductive type impurities into the surface layer of the cell region of the first conductive type epitaxial layer 02 to form a JFET region 07 .

[0056] Specifically, first, a field oxide layer with a thickness of 50nm to 120nm is generated by thermal oxidation in a high-temperature furnace tube, and the required field oxide layer 06 is selectively etched using a mask layer. Then, N-type impurity general implantation is performed to form a JFET region 07; wherein the implantation dose is 1e12 to 3e12, and the implantation energy is 100kev to 250ke, and the following is obtained: Figure 7f The device structure shown.

[0057] Step 7: Generate a gate oxide layer 08 on the surface of the cell region of the first conductive type epitaxial layer 02 by thermal oxidation in a high temperature furnace tube, and deposit a first conductive type doped polysilicon layer 09, and selectively etch away part of the polysilicon layer 09 and the gate oxide layer 08 using a mask layer to form a gate.

[0058] Specifically, firstly, a gate oxide layer 08 is formed by thermal oxidation in a high temperature furnace tube; then, an N-type doped polysilicon layer 09 is deposited thereon, and the N-type polysilicon layer 09 and the gate oxide layer 08 are selectively etched away by a mask layer to form a gate, and the gate oxide layer 08 is obtained as shown in FIG. Figure 7g The device structure shown.

[0059] Step 8: Use a self-aligned process to implant second conductivity type acceptor ions into the second conductivity type single ring region 05 to form a second conductivity type body region 10 .

[0060] Specifically, acceptor ions are implanted by a self-aligned process, and then high-temperature annealing is performed to form a P-type body region, that is, a second conductive type body region 10, as shown in FIG. Figure 7h The device structure shown.

[0061] Step 9: In the top layer of the first conductive type epitaxial layer 02 , first conductive type donor ions are selectively implanted using a mask layer to form a first conductive type source region 11 in the cell region.

[0062] Specifically, a window for acceptor ion implantation is etched out by photolithography and etching using a mask layer to form an N+ type source region 11, and the following is obtained: Figure 7i The device structure shown.

[0063] Step 10: deposit an interlayer insulating dielectric 12 on the upper surface of the first conductive type epitaxial layer 02 , and deposit metal to form a source metal 13 after selective etching using a mask layer; and deposit metal to form a drain metal 14 on the back side of the first conductive type substrate 01 .

[0064] Specifically, an interlayer insulating dielectric 12 is deposited on the upper surface of the N-type epitaxial layer, a metal contact hole is etched by photolithography using a mask layer, and a source metal 13 is deposited; a metal is deposited on the back surface to form a drain metal 14, and the following is obtained: Figure 7j The device structure shown.

[0065] At this point, the preparation of the super junction MOSFET device has been completed.
